This mode corresponds to legacy Timer2 operation. The timer
increments with each clock input when ON = 1, and
does not increment when ON = 0. When the TxTMR
count equals the TxPR period count, the timer resets on the next clock and continues
counting from zero. Operation with the ON bit software controlled is illustrated in Figure 1. With TxPR = 5,
the counter advances until TxTMR = 5, and goes to zero with the next
clock.
